I hope these thoughts give you something to ponder while you enjoy your morning beverage. As you go about your day, I invite you to take some time to reflect on your observations. Consider if there’s anything you can do to enhance your life, such as looking into the mirror and appreciating yourself. You may also find a way to make the world more beautiful with a simple act of kindness. Perhaps you can hold the door open without expecting a thank you. You may also want to consider if you have a gift to share with the world. Maybe you have some untapped talent you regret wasting, as we sometimes do with unused towels or our good china. I hope you find them enjoyable and return for more tomorrow.
Just
When just is used correctly, it means fair. We can also use it to mean exactly or recently. His treatment is just. She knows just what I need. We just saw them.
However, many of us use it to minimize who we are and the things we do. I’m just this. I do just that.
We must be just in our fairness.
However, we should never use it to describe who we are and what we do. To do so belittles us. Therefore, when someone asks you what you do or who you are, proudly say I am “this” and doing “that” without minimizing your importance.
There are no jobs or chores that we do that are not important. One may seem smaller than another. Nonetheless, all are useful at one time or another and, therefore, are equally important.
There is nothing just about who we are and what we do. However, we should treat each other justly in our behavior and thinking.
Therefore, the next time you tell someone I’m just a person,” just” don’t do that.
Today’s challenge:
Be just in your treatment of others and yourself. Don’t just be.
